Jointly held by the National Archives Centre 1, Ha Noi Opera House and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the event will showcase 70 official documents, photos and drafts of outstanding buildings with French architecture that are being preserved in the National Archives Centre 1.

These buildings were designed and constructed by French architects at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, including  Ha Noi Opera House, Louis Finot, Indochina University, Ha Noi Post Office, Indochina Finance Office and Doumer Bridge (currently Long Bien Bridge).

The exhibited is expected to provide visitors with a more comprehensive view of Ha Noi’s architecture during the French colonial era and facilitate access to archives that are particularly significant to research on the capital’s history and culture.

French Architecture in the Heart of Ha Noi will run until October 27.
